Benks magclap haze arrived today. Really like it. Thin. Metallic, very responsive buttons, still see the phone colour. Love the accent colours around the camera bump and buttons.

However, it’s basically a clear version of those ‘ultra’ thin hard plastic cases, one of which I had last year for the 13 and it scratched the phone.

So not sure really. Will keep it as it came from China and I can’t be bothered with the hassle of returning. But not sure I’ll use it.
Can you post some pics of it? How’s the grip and is the MagSafe real strong? I know most of their cases have the best magnets ever.

Some pics.

Grip is okay, nothing amazing. Same for the magnets. They work as they should but I wouldn’t call them the best ever.

Depends entirely on price. I always buy outright and am slowly being priced out of the apple eco system by the price hikes (UK, everything got £150)



I really wish I’d have kept my blue XR. All I wanted for years was a blue iPhone that didn’t have gigantic bezels. The XR was my dream phone and while I kept it for two years, the 12 and 13 were just meh and I wished I’d have kept the XR. Keep that phone till it gives up.
Feel the same way about my 11 Pro, best phone I ever had. Good year for phones!

To people who has the benks aramid fiber case, do you have any imperfections in the back side? I have some small scratches in different spots

Does anyone have any experience with Mous warranty support? I used them for something on a phone I had a few years ago but this year I reached out to them a week ago, and I have yet to hear back. Pretty disappointed considering they say they will respond in 48 hours… it’s a shame because it’s a 60-65 dollar case and I expected better… I love Mous cases too

I’ve settled on Cretanbull again. I like the Ryan London better but prefer the bit of color on this one. Wish I had just started with a Bullstrap.

New Case……. AGAIN 😑…Otterbox Defender XT, think this might be the one I land on for a while though, I need to chill out on buying cases and just returned as many of them as were still eligible for return. I really like the feel of this case, it is grippy and looks good imo. Normally this clear version comes with a clear rim around the screen but I may have swapped it with the black rim from the full black version of this case. Looks much better, I didn’t like the case because of that rim, problem solved because now I love it. I feel like it looks better in person, pics don’t do it justice.

Nice, looking good. Does the back show fingerprints and scratch easy?

It’s pretty good on the fingerprints honestly… I’d say better than 90% of other clear cases, you’ll still get some but a quick wipe against your shirt will clear them up… and I have only been running it since yesterday but I’m kind of tough on my device with work and whatnot but I have zero scratches so far! The picture looks like there are a few small scratches at the bottom left but those are little hair/lint pieces I missed before I put the case on…. That’s the only con I have so far is, it’s a b***h to take off and on, which is kind of a good thing for me while trying not to buy any more cases. Lol deters me since it’s so tough to swap on and off

Another dumb question, will Magsafe charging put scratches on the clear back?

Got about 5+ cases myself I could use to return ;)

Not a dumb question, as a fellow case enthusiast I understand lol. But I haven’t had that issue with it yet!

But yeah man you should return them while you still can! Feels good and means you can try another new one since you returned 5 😂

Do you think the back will end up with a lot of dust under the case ? Would be a pain to take off to clean…

Haven't been in here in awhile, popping in to see what's going on.
Hey, Tee how you been?
Still waiting on your Patika Air Case for the watch ultra-video. I love this Air case but it did scratch up the side of my ultra by the action button and speaker. Have you noticed any scratches on your watch from this case?
